Younger Boy goes back to the psychiatrist tomorrow to possibly adjust his meds.

I asked him what he thought of the new meds and where he thought they should be changed.  I kept all of my opinions to myself in the beginning.  Younger Boy asked Middle Boy what he thought, too.

The boys thought Younger Boy was doing better on the new dosage of ADHD medication, but that there was still room for improvement.  Younger Boy thought afternoons and evenings were tougher than earlier in the day.  I agree with all of their opinions on this.

Younger Boy said the nighttime meds are making him very tired.  Hallelujah!!  That is what is supposed to be happening.  In the beginning he seemed to have trouble waking up, but that seems to be dwindling.

He is still wetting the bed and having about the same amount of nightmares.

One new thing I have noticed.  He is whining and crying pretty regularly.  This is new.  He rarely (if ever) did it before the last month. 

I have also noticed the picking at the skin on his fingers.  It is hard not to when they are bleeding all of the time.  It may be a nervous reaction, but could also be a side effect of one of the medications.  We'll just have to ask.

He seems generally happier with the exception of the whining/crying thing.  He is nowhere near as angry.

Prayers we can get a good combination of medications to make his quality of life the best it can be until some of the things he needs to work through during therapy are worked through.
